Had a fun time at GURU Digital Art Colleges ‘2nd Annual Gala Guru’ and Twestival. Was delightfully impressed with the hilarious, funny and talented ukulele cover band the BeArthurs. Latitude 53 was an ideal venue with just enough space to mingle and meet new folks in the digital media industry. Creative conversations where plenty, along with funky interactive displays. Lastly, the animated film screened by guru students proved that these recent grads are prepared for whatever the digital industry will throw at them. Enjoy a few photos of the BeArthur’s and check out their live show if you ever have a chance, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
It was memorable to feel the spirit at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics and witness first hand a collective energy that I will never forget! The power of collective support is incredible and watching the growing success of the Canadian athletes was truly inspiring and motivating and made Canada truly proud.
Other than watching all my favorite athletes compete, my additional interest while there was to capture events at the Aboriginal venues that featured a growing number of talented Indigenous musicians and artists from across North America. The Four Host First Nations 2010 Aboriginal Pavilion drew huge crowds and quickly became a symbol of pride and success for Aboriginal Peoples all across Canada. The Talking Stick Festival featured fantastic performances nightly with First Nations, Metis and Inuit dancers, writers, and musicians. Here are some moments from the week I was there.
